I have collected many obituaries of genealogical interest over the past twenty years.I will be posting them on this blog as time allows. The majority of these obituaries are from early Arkansas Baptist newspapers and have been transcribed as written.

In Clark county, Ark., April 14, 1890, Marion C. Thornton of pneumonia.
Bro. Thornton was born in Georgia, in 1822, moved to Arkansas in 11854, professed religion and joined Unity Church in 1870. He lived a consistent ember until the Master saw fit to take him to himself and reward him for services in this life. Bro. Thornton was a good man and had no enemies. While it seems hard to give up such a loved ones, yet we bow in humble submission to the Lord's will and invoke his richest blessings on the bereft ones.
